Sep 01, 2010

The prominent Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection welcomes a new member – the 1966 Perpetual Calendar watch.

The case of the watch is rendered in pink or white gold and measures 40mm in diameter. It features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal over the dial and a sapphire case-back. The timepiece is 30-meter water-resistant.

The heart of the new Girard-Perregaux watch accommodates an in-house mechanical self-winding movement - caliber GP033Q0, built from 288 components. The 26-jewel movement, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, provides a 46-hour power reserve. It incorporates the brand’s exclusive Microvar variable inertia balance.

The dial, demonstrating a symmetrical layout, is created for classic-style lovers. The hours and minutes are shown by gold leaf-shaped hands, while the day, date and month are indicated by blued hands. At 6 o’clock, you will notice an elegant gold moonphase indicator.

The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Perpetual Calendar watch embraces the wrist on an alligator leather strap, fitted with an ardillon buckle in 18K gold. Watch enthusiasts may choose between 99 pieces in white gold and 99 pieces in pink gold.

The name of the Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection pays tribute to the prestigious prize from the Neuchatel Observatory Centenary the brand received in 1966 for its brilliant developments in the chronometry field.
